Hah, Alex came through. I can't wait to see the musical.

I would say this will be one of a kind. I can't imagine anyone else is going to take the challenge of a musical.
 
Woah! A musical? That's a really ambitious project. Talented people you have working on this one. I wish you all the best on this one Matt.

Thanks for the comments guys. The update right now is script written, lyrics written, recording music, then we get to record voices then we get to film!! Can't contact the guy who is recording music till monday. Grrr can't wait so long! Ready to film this thing!

Hoping to film the middle of June since editing a musical will be longer than editing a normal film.
 
I'm impressed, 'cause, 1) its a musical & 2) you're posting a second entry. Coolness. Can't wait to see what you come up with on this one.
 
My DP will be out of town who owns the Canon EOS Rebel T1i. So I'm thinking of other DP's and what cameras they own that I would like to shoot with. The only options I can think of with DP's I know that own cameras:

Canon XL2
Panasonic HVX (don't know what kind)
RED
Panasonic DVX (don't know what kind)
Canon HV20

My first option OF COURSE is the RED followed by HVX, HV20, DVX, XL2

Just spoke with the composer and his wife is in the hospital and hasn't gotten there yet. So I told him the due date and what's up and I told him I need the music no later than next week and he said he can do it.

So my plan is to:

Recording Session: 3rd wkend of June
Shoot it: 4th Week of June; then edit the film.

That's all I can tell you for now. Is that we're just waiting on the music and then we can all jump in. As far as a DP, haven't gotten there yet. But will keep all of you updated. I'd just check the 1st page of Progress here and there.
